"Why listen to the sound of the humans
When you can Listen to the sounds
of the H..E..A..V..E..N !!!
" (-- From Bajaj Ad) :)

-------- Avenger 200 --------
Been
just 15 days since I got hold of this beauty & must say I am lovin it. Added the windshield to it the very day I got the delivery.

Looks :
Guaranteed to get you staring looks ;) on streets and highways alike.

Comfort :
Riding comfort for the driver is Excellent on Highways, only problem would be for heavy traffic conditions, esp. with pillion rider. Does take a toll on your wrists in heavy traffic. (I travel with it through IIT Powai everyday to office :P )Pillion seat might disappoint large framed people ...

Mileage :
Haven’t tested it yet.

Handling :
Up-shifting gears is Very Smooth compared to down-shifting.
Still in run in period, so couldn’t go beyond 60kmph but overall acceleration is nice for a bike of this weight. Though you need to up-shift quickly as the engine revs up pretty quickly (since the bike is new I guess).
Cruising (for which this bike is meant :) ) on highways is a lovely experience. The ride is Rock solid , vibrations are few.
Unlike other users I didn’t find any problems while riding on gravel (or even sand :P) on a few occasions. But that could be because of my weight :P

Features -- Finishing ... :
I would have loved a turning indicator which switches off automatically as during riding (with a helmet) it is cumbersome to look at the turn indicators specifically, esp. if your height is over 6 ft.

The finishing of areas in the chrome parts where they are welded together is bad. It has a silver paint look to it.
The position of the ignition system takes getting used to but its the locking mechanism (on right side of the handle) which gets on your nerves :).
The stock mirrors are not adequately adjustable if you have a height of 6ft (my case). No matter how much I tried I could not adjust them properly to get a proper view of the road behind. I need to duck down to see the rear view properly almost every time.

I think Bajaj needs a kick to include a KICK START as a dependable backup to the electric starter :P .
Or atleast they need to give a manual about push starting this monster LOLzzzz :) .

Thats all folks ...

I would advise potential buyers to ahead and " Feel Like GOD ! " :))
